Understanding Pedestrian Accident Statistics in Texas

Across the country, thousands of pedestrians are hurt or killed each year due to negligent drivers. Unfortunately, Texas has some of the highest pedestrian accident statistics in the nation. Pedestrian accidents can cause serious physical and emotional injuries that take a toll on victims and their families. 

The following are just some of the key statistics related to pedestrian accidents in Texas: 

  • In Texas, nearly 3,000 pedestrians are killed or injured annually due to traffic collisions. 
  • On average, over 500 pedestrians are killed in the state each year.
  • Pedestrian fatalities account for 14% of all road deaths in the state. 
  • Between 2008 and 2018, pedestrian fatalities increased by 47%. 

Common Injuries from Pedestrian Accidents

Due to a lack of protective gear like airbags, seat belts, and bumpers, pedestrians are highly vulnerable on the road. Pedestrians involved in car accidents often endure life-changing injuries that can affect their capacity to work and support their families.

Some of the most common pedestrian accident injuries include: 

  • Traumatic brain injuries 
  • Spinal cord injuries 
  • Fractures and broken bones 
  • Internal organ damage 
  • Lacerations and other soft tissue injuries

To prevent such serious consequences from occurring, pedestrians must be extra cautious when approaching crosswalks and obey all traffic lights. Even so, you cannot predict the behavior of drivers around you and some accidents are unavoidable. For these reasons, it's crucial to get in touch with an experienced attorney who understands how to handle such cases.

  • "I would hire him immediately. Great lawyer, five stars."
    Will Mitchell was friendly, courteous, respectful, and while I always felt welcome to ask questions about my case or even chat about the weather, he never wasted either of our time. He clearly explained the convoluted issues I was facing and how we were going to resolve them, and gave me all the information I needed about the process before I hired him so I could make an informed decision about how I was spending my money. He kept my priorities in mind and worked with me on my financial constraints while being clear on what my money would buy me. But best of all I always got friendly updates on what was happening so I was up to date on my legal status. I hope to never need him again but if I ever find myself in a clusterfuck of unpaid tickets I would hire him immediately. Great lawyer, five stars.
